Did the specialist not suggest what you should do?
There are several runners' injury sites around - check out the threads with titles such as "shin splints" and so on, I think they were posted in there. Can't remember if this is the same as anterior compartment syndrome or not, but the sites mentioned there may have something to help anyhow.
There's one by Dr Pribut that I've used in the past that I found helpful. Type the name into Google or Ask Jeeves or another search engine.
